Hi, We have developped a session bean which is able to connect to an IMAP/POP server using th JavaMail API. One of the functionality is the extraction of attachment. It works pretty good when the filename of attachment does not include any special characters like accent or NorthEuropean characters. For example, if the mail contains a file named "Présentation du mail" the method getFileName() returns the value "Pr?sentation du mail". I have been parsing the JavaMail forum since hours without any answer to this encoding problem. Any help would be appreciated, Regards, Fabrice    More>>
